Damon Albarn to headline Latitude Festival 2014

Latitude, winner of Best Line-Up at the 2013 UK Festival Awards and the UK's favourite multi-arts festival, is proud to reveal that Damon Albarn will headline the ninth edition of the festival, taking place from Thursday 17th to Sunday 20th July 2014 in the stunning grounds of Henham Park, Suffolk.

Latitude is thrilled that the awesome British musician Damon Albarn will make an exclusive festival appearance following the release of his hotly anticipated solo album 'Everyday Robots' in April 2014.

Latitude is hugely excited that his performance at the festival on Saturday 19th July will be his only UK festival appearance. Damon is no stranger to the festival having appeared at Latitude in 2007 as part of the supergroup The Good, The Bad & The Queen. As a musician who constantly challenges conventional boundaries and norms with his creativity, Damon Albarn is a perfect fit for such an innovative festival and now audiences will be delighted to see him appear for his first ever festival performance as a solo artist at Latitude 2014.

Albarn joins other Latitude exclusive performances including Two Door Cinema Club making their first festival headline appearance; Norwegian electronic duo Röyksopp and Swedish indie-pop pioneer Robyn, in a special joint-appearance as part of their Do It Again 2014 tour, the only opportunity in the UK to see the tour.

Winner of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 'Roots Award', Billy Bragg and his band will be stopping off at Latitude for a UK festival exclusive performance and finally the colourful and psychedelic experimental Swedish band Goat, who have a magnificent live show, which can only be seen at Latitude this summer.
